Tips for Creating a Cozy Guest Room

Many families are reuniting this spring after a long period of not seeing one another due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With out-of-town guests possibly visiting soon for the first time in a while, now is a great time to spruce up your guest room for visitors!

Provide Guests with a Comfortable Mattress

The guest room can sometimes end up being the room where we put things that are no longer needed or that are not quite up to par for the main bedrooms of the house. Instead of furnishing the guest room with an old, saggy mattress, consider buying a new mattress for your guest room so guests will sleep comfortably while they visit.

Clear out the Closet

While it is tempting to leave all your off-season clothes stored in the guest room closet, it is not very welcoming for guests to find they have nowhere to hang their clothes during their stay. Clear out space in the closet so guests can utilize it while they are enjoying a visit to your home.

Provide Basic Necessities

Most guests will remember to bring things they need for travel, but it is always nice to have backup toothbrushes and toiletries in case they have forgotten something. Also be sure to equip your guest room with the basics like a bedside lamp for reading, nightlight for the hallway if your guest room does not have an attached bathroom, and extra pillows and linens.

Make Guests Feel Like They are Staying in a Hotel

For a visit your guests will not forgot, consider stocking your guest room with a small one-cup coffee maker so they do not have to leave the room for an early-morning caffeine-fix. You could also provide a small basket of snacks, a plush robe, and slippers for guests to enjoy. www.TenTrails.com 360.469.4043  

Tips to Keep in Mind When Searching for Your New Home 

Home is more important than ever before. When considering a move, the goal is to get as close as possible to all the elements that you are searching for in your new space. Below are a few tips to consider when researching your move.

Buy vs. Rent 

When looking for your new home, consider whether you want to make the commitment to purchase a property or rent your new home. Both options have their advantages, and you can decide what is best for your family given your current circumstances. Ten Trails has options for both purchasing a home or townhome, or renting one of our upcoming apartments in The Village at Ten Trails.

Decide Your Priorities

Before you begin your search for a new home, sit down with your family members and make a list of priorities for your new space. Consider how your family lives and uses your current home and what elements may be lacking. If you work from home, perhaps you are looking for a home with space for an office or option for 1-gig ultra-fast internet speed. If you have a large family, maybe you want a home with enough bedrooms so each family member has their own space. Whatever your priorities, keep them in mind when looking at homes so that you do not get overwhelmed by options and lose sight of your original goals for moving.
